Remy 597 anyone??

[holy cow]

Was over a Dicks the other day and they had 1 of these on the shelf for about 275.00. It was in some green plastic stock and had a heavy type barrel on it and was threaded with a cap. My son had a 597 that i had bought him several years back that had a laminate thumbhole stock but i had never got behind it to shoot it and he has sold it. So i lost my chance to take it to the club and run it some. So i did some research on these and their seems to be not much out their for it. Found a couple after market stocks and Volquartsen makes a couple drop in pieces for the trigger. Just curious if these things are duds as if it does not shoot well it seems you would be forced to sell it as i found no after market barrels for it. Done mucho on the 10/22s but thought about something different for a change and not break the piggy bank. Do these thing feed well? Hope to hear some feed back on who has them or had them and see what the verdict is on these.

Thanks,
Dan

That's the AAC model already threaded for suppressor. All you need for a great trigger is this target hammer. I've installed two, what a difference! It really helped 50 yard groups on the first rifle I had, an LS HB

Volquartsen Target Hammer

The LS HB shot very well with the factory barrel and it isn't that heavy because the barrel wasn't a .920. Regardless, if you want a replacement barrel I have one of these on a skinny barrel I built up and it is a .920:

Jarvis Custom

The Jarvis barrel shoots very well. I'm not sure I see that much of a difference at 50 yards over the other rifle I had with the factory heavy barrel. It's just a matter of finding what it likes as far as ammo goes. I don't think I had many if any, problems with it cycling subsonic stuff. EGW makes a 20 moa base if you want one.

I had one back about 2000 or so nice little rifle the reason I sent mine down the road is the clips are CONSTANTLY jamming the clip is slightly shorter from front to back than it should be when the shell is feeding up it catches and binds I bought several others (clips) to see if the first was a lemon or not and had the exact same problem with all of them. maybe they fixed that issue. Hopefully!!

I think they're on Gen 3 magazines at this point. I've never had a problem and mine are all 2nd.
